If you have a problem with the current rendering of the mapnik tiles --
such as color, size, etc.:

 * Create a ticket under http://trac.openstreetmap.org/newticket 
 * Put it in the slippy_map component
 * Put "crschmidt" in "assign to"

Include: 
 * Link from by http://labs.metacarta.com/osm/ "Permalink", which
   demonstrates the problem
 * Explanation of what the problem is
 * Explanation of your proposed fix for the problem
 * If possible links where you think the fix should start and end

For example: 

Title: "Motorway differentiation, 1:2M"
Text:
http://labs.metacarta.com/osm/?lat=6698381.1452&lon=12866.00801&zoom=6&layers=B

Motorways at this zoom level are not clearly enough distinguished. This
problem does not appear as serious at
http://labs.metacarta.com/osm/?lat=6676978.78192&lon=-28715.72636&zoom=8&layers=B
but is serious in this view at zoom level 7. I think that these
motorways of 'secondary' type should be thinner, leaving the thicker
'motorway' types wider.

If you create a ticket of this type, I will work on improving the
osm.xml used in the TileCache to take these changes into account. (I
will also, of course, provide patches back ot the dev list for anyone
with SVN access to integrate.) These changes will not be made by me
before the weekend, but I will do my best to integrate any that are
entered as tickets at that time.
